At least 23 civilians killed, dozens injured in Israeli shelling on different areas in Gaza
Ammon News - At least 23 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in the early hours of Saturday as Israeli forces intensified their bombardment of various areas across the Gaza Strip, with the heaviest strikes reported in the central region.
Local sources said that Israeli troops opened live fire directly at civilians gathered near aid distribution points in central Gaza, killing 15 people and wounding many others.
Medical officials confirmed that five more bodies arrived at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, including two people who succumbed to injuries sustained during an airstrike on a tent near al-Khaldi Mosque, as artillery shelling simultaneously hit the eastern al-Tuffah neighborhood.
In Khan Younis, three Palestinians were killed in a drone strike targeting a group of civilians near the Islamic University, according to reports.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a campaign of collective punishment and genocide on Gaza. The ongoing war has resulted in more than 182,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, the majority of them women and children, with over 11,000 still missing. WAFA

Trump blocked 'Israeli' plan to assassinate Khamenei, officials say
As 'Israeli' and Iranian military exchanges intensify, a new report alleges that US President Donald Trump recently intervened to block an 'Israeli' plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The revelation comes as both nations issue increasingly stark warnings and carry out devastating strikes. Two US officials, speaking to Reuters on the condition of anonymity, claimed that President Trump had vetoed the 'Israeli' proposal. "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we're not even talking about going after the political leadership," one senior administration official was quoted as saying, outlining a clear precondition for any direct US involvement in targeting Iranian leadership. President Trump, while warning Tehran against striking any American targets, asserted that the escalating conflict "could be ended easily." However, top 'Israeli' officials have vehemently denied the report. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when questioned by Fox News about the alleged plan, dismissed it as one of "so many false reports of conversations that never happened." Echoing this denial, 'Israel's' Head of the National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, labeled the claims "false" and delivered a chilling message to Tehran. "There is no immunity for political leaders," Hanegbi stated to Israeli media, adding, "If I were an Iranian living in Tehran, I'd have packed my bags and fled. That city will be under painful, sustained strikes."

Injuries Reported as Israeli Forces Raid Several Towns in Occupied Jerusalem - Jordan News
Injuries Reported as Israeli Forces Raid Several Towns in Occupied Jerusalem Several Palestinians suffered from tear gas inhalation on Sunday as Israeli occupation forces stormed multiple neighborhoods in occupied Jerusalem. اضافة اعلان According to a statement by the Jerusalem Governorate, Israeli forces raided the home of Ahmad Badr in the town of Al-Isawiya, northeast of Jerusalem, and detained him. During the incursion, soldiers heavily fired toxic tear gas towards residential homes, causing numerous cases of suffocation. In a related incident, Israeli forces also stormed the Kafr Aqab neighborhood in northern Jerusalem early Sunday morning, firing a barrage of tear gas canisters toward residential buildings. The attack led to a fire breaking out on a balcony of one apartment. No direct injuries were reported. Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces carried out a wide-scale arrest campaign, detaining 40 Palestinians across the West Bank, including children and former prisoners. In a joint statement, the Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners Club said the arrests were concentrated in Hebron, with others reported in Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem. The statement noted that Israeli forces have intensified arrest operations and field interrogations in the West Bank, alongside ongoing mass killings in Gaza and field executions and home demolitions particularly in Jenin and Tulkarm. Since the beginning of the war, the total number of arrests in the West Bank has risen to approximately 17,500, including both those who remain in custody and those who were released. This figure excludes thousands of arrests from Gaza. For the third consecutive day, Israeli forces have imposed arbitrary and oppressive measures at military checkpoints across the West Bank, enforcing a strict security cordon and a complete lockdown on all cities, villages, and camps due to the war on Iran. These measures have paralyzed daily life throughout the occupied West Bank. — (Petra)
